City crews completed the installation of a giant xylophone in Forsyth Park Friday morning on the west side of the band shell, near the central walkway.
The instrument is a permanent addition to the park, handicap accessible and a great tool that could promote music education to park visitors.

Artist Gregg Payne out of Chico, California constructed the oversized chimes and Savannah city and grounds crews built the hefty ipe hardwood frame.
Margaret Williams with the City of Savannah who helped get this project off the ground said "it would be a great volunteer partnership if we could get Savannah Arts Academy or SCAD students or anybody who wanted to volunteer their musical talent to teach the little ones music notes and at the same time get them moving."
This is just one idea of the many different things that could happen with this project, Williams said.
